Sony could have a couple good ones, but Microsoft would really have very little to release.

They both would have to expand to releasing 3rd party figures to even compete with the other NFC figures.

I think sony could but i wouldn't be interested



Neither Sony nor Microsoft would be wise to try such a thing; not only do they not have enough characters to do so, but both have icons aimed at a more mature demographic who are generally too old to enjoy figurines. Itd be too niche



Although if Sony made a tomba! NFC figurine I'd buy the shit out of it lol

Microsoft can do a minecraft version ( where it has all the monsters in the game)

While Sony can have Anime amiibos, since they really have strong connections between Japanese developers.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Hope not, paying £15 to unlock on disk dlc i already paid for, even Capcom are amazed at this kind of daylight robbery.

By all means sell figurines, but dont hold game content to ransom.

I hope one day they make a Dick Turpin NFC character, at least that would be honest.



So it seems tallying the results, most Sony and Xbox fans would be against them having their own line of NFC figurines. Everyone agree to that?

Sony could do it, especially if they can pull in characters from movies to expend on this.

And which characters does microsoft have besides masterchief, banjo, kazooie and marcus fenix? The viva piñata ones?


Alan Wake, Sunset overdrive characters, Dead Rising 3 Characters, Fable Characters, Conker, Project spark, Killer Instinct, Tomb Raider, There are many Halo Characters etc.. Gears has way more than just marcus. Kameo Characters, Quantum break characters, Phantom dust.  I think that should make a whole shizzzzz full of NFC products. Some are 3rd party but still exclusive as of now. MineCrafts, Maybe some forza cars, make some deals with the car companies.
